Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Six distinct conceptual approaches were identified for simulating light sharing in intercrop models.
- Observation Four conceptual approaches were identified for simulating belowground resource (water and nutrient) competition.
- Observation Competitive trade-offs for light, water and nutrients are widely represented in intercrop models.
- Observation Facilitative and other complex processes are often simplified or omitted in intercrop models.
- Method / resource Structurally complex models often performed well in simulating intercropping when calibrated on sole crops.
- Method / resource Simpler models required extensive intercrop-specific calibration to achieve better prediction performance.
- Method / resource More complex model architectures can leverage existing sole-crop data to simulate intercrop systems.
- Method / resource An evidence-based model selection criteria framework was devised for intercrop models.
